Great line but it’s also true. Devil is a lie if you look into the etymology of the word. Lucifer also isn’t another name for the devil either despite popular belief
100%. Nobody messing with Nasir. It's more than just flow, his style, cadence, story telling, he is just the total package. Shout out to Hit Boy for giving Nas that HUNGER again.
@@colinryan4737 won't argue with you. Black Thought is a machine, rapping monster. Him Nas,DOOM my favourites of all time. I find Nas to be the greatest to ever do it. Just my opinion.
So many great track on this Album. 1. Recession proof is a banger 2. WTF 3. Hood2hoods 4. Don't shoot 5. Thun 6. Beef. Unbelievable. The Greatest of all time.
Nas is so genuine. Like he has always been so relatable and really embodies the spirit of every super smart kid in the hood that doesn’t talk much but sees everything. NAS gave that kid a bigger voice.
Some people have been misinterpreting Nas for nearly 25 years now with his message. He's never changed. Whether its from Ether or Nastradamus to his Nasir album. He's always been about shedding this corporeal BS that gets everybody down, that gets people killing each other over nothing. He lived through the lives ruined by the east coast west coast shit, then he called out JayZ and Mobb Deep for their manipulation and fueling the fire (we can see how Jayz never really change with all the lives he's ruined as a billionare slumlord/gentrifier), But so many people saw Nas and his 100% positivity and realism since day 1 and just couldn't believe it, they always thought he had some hidden motives or was getting people to disappear, they saw him spread love to Tupac as if Nas was going to get him killed. No man, Nas has been legit since day 1. This King's Disease trilogy has been the wax seal for me.
@@withoutthejuice7193 How can HOV be the goat? you take Jay catalogue and put it next to Nas, it's unfair in favour of Nas, 3 decades consistently dropping classics.
I began listening to Nas last year, and have been running it back with his older albums and now with the KD trilogy.. He has quickly risen to be my favorite artist and I’m glad to be able to enjoy this legend’s music even as a Gen Z. Real hip hop ❤
@@paultaylor3841 Not just that. Both songs are based off of a complete metaphor for the whole song and tell a story. One he was a gun this one he is beef itself
@@nathanmasi1931 Id very few. Black Thought is up in that top tier, Freddie Gibbs, Ransom, Benny, Kendrick, J Cole, none of them displaying the versatility Nas is showing right now though
@Julius angel I never said he wasn't ahead of BT but if you think Thought can't compare lyrically you're buggin! Nas is #1 all time to me but Black Thought is a beast in his own right. Nas gets the edge for sure but its not a HUGE difference.
@@tornatic1983 am with you thou on this one. I feel like with Nas the thing is he has a formidable body of work to back him up while black thought doesn't have much material outside his foray with the roots
"Put You on Game" by Lupe Fiasco is similar to this as well. Nas is Nas. Enough said. I'm ALWAYS glad to see people enjoy Nas. King's Disease III has been LEGIT!! Thanks for posting.
To put 4 albums this dope together in 2 years is absolutely astonishing. Speechless. Greatest Ever. Pulled up Him and Hovs discographies and it's more lopsided than i thought.
It really is man. Big Jay fan, but being objective he has a lot of duds. Kingdom Come, Magna Carta, BP3, 4:44 & Unfinished business and his albums with Bey
@@mj3846 and I left off those r Kelly albums because let's be honest if not made those albums literally exactly the way they are he would have never recovered but because it's Jay z it's waived off as if it never happened
Also, this personification goes beyond beef. It's 👑z disease itself, from eating too much fat (beef)! His melodious rap style makes hip-hop a glory to listen to. Like, Nas is that great with a pen so sharp to put you on the scene of almost every single verse he ever wrote. To fans who are rooted deep in lyrics, Nas is the GOAT.
Nas is bouncing all through the pockets in “Reminisce’ on KD3 over the Mary J. Blige sample. The second verse is ESPECIALLY crazy! Nas is the GOAT, man!
Y'all compliment each other so well ♥️.. I can't believe all the love and support Nas is finally getting.... It's so weird... He's a king in his own right ..boss shit ... 💪🏾
Bruh this is Hip Hop Excellence!!! The cadence, the personification, the topic and timing of this song is on point as well. Dude telling a story on this album too. Pay attention people.
Nas is amazing lyrically. Much like Wu Tang. He also crushes beef. His song Ether is a FIRE diss track. He is a bit preachy sometimes, but I can look past all that. His beats are sometimes slightly unorthodox, however his lyricism is almost second to none. I have been listening and feeling him for decades. He is most definitely a master of his art. He was also with a supergroup called The Firm with Foxy Brown, AZ, Cormega, and more. Some greats by them are Affirmative Action and Desperados, among others.
Beef 5/5 - Nas is in his bag on this joint breakin down the many forms of beef, I gave you power vibes✊🏾🔥🇯🇲 “Beef is my name my story is age old, so don’t ask me why I take souls”
Appreciate yall in depth reaction! ...Please yall gotta react to Nas- Michael & Quincy! I would love to hear yall thoughts keep more KD 3 reactions coming
Man.. Everytime I listen to either NAS, JID or Cole.. I just am able to actually listen to what they are saying. Instead of just.. "Yeah, nice flow". And I'm originally a Metalhead.
Great Reaction and Song. Nas deserves to be on the throne. Though Who shot ya was actually a shot by Biggie at LL Cool J...though as he says in this jam, it's stretched out, misunderstood. Great Jam and keep the KDIII Reactions coming
Hit Boy has lit a fire underneath his ass. This is CLASSIC NAS that Ive been missing. And though he had albums with moments of greatness it feels like this body of work picks up where It Was Written ended.
I’d love to just read these lyrics. Reading lyrics hit different. If it’s raps like this, you’ll really see the genius of it. Read the lyrics of lets say Glorilla, and well…
Very reminiscent of Lupe Fiasco's - The Game I am the one that they march with Through the back alleys and the black markets The Oval offices, crack-houses, and apartments Through the mazes of the queens I am the blood of this city Its gas, water, and electricity I'm its gym, and its math, and its history The gunshots in the class And you can't pass if you're missin', G
“the devil is a lie. I can confuse a genius, have him moving real dumb over nothing at my convenience.” 🔥🔥🔥 NAS pen is out of this world.
Great line but it’s also true. Devil is a lie if you look into the etymology of the word. Lucifer also isn’t another name for the devil either despite popular belief
Nas is the GOAT
I personally have Black Thought at #1 on my top 10. But Nas is for sure a close 2nd.
100%. Nobody messing with Nasir. It's more than just flow, his style, cadence, story telling, he is just the total package. Shout out to Hit Boy for giving Nas that HUNGER again.

@@colinryan4737 that is you , we all no Nas is number 1
Our boy rapped as a gun, prison cell, roach... and now this...
There's no Hip Hop without Nas.
Fetus, letter to a friend in prison (One Love), Pages on His Book of Rhymes, etc.
As "money" on "Money is My B****", also female voice on "Sekou's Story"
@@tornatic1983 Fried Chicken & Rewind are also marvelous Concept tracks.
@@RAakaCHI-191 i agree. Nas when it comes to creativity is where he separates from most lyricists
One of my top dreams is to rap as well as Nas. I can't be the only one.
So many great track on this Album.
1. Recession proof is a banger
2. WTF
3. Hood2hoods
4. Don't shoot
5. Thun
6. Beef.
Unbelievable. The Greatest of all time.
Reminisce been on repeat
Nas is so genuine. Like he has always been so relatable and really embodies the spirit of every super smart kid in the hood that doesn’t talk much but sees everything.

Real hip hop ❤
this give me "I Gave You Power" vibes. Nas is so poetic
It almost has a similar sound to it too.
It’s in the same structure
@@paultaylor3841 Not just that. Both songs are based off of a complete metaphor for the whole song and tell a story. One he was a gun this one he is beef itself
@@KontryBoy706 Correct!
It's basically a pt.2 of I gave you power.
Best album of the year
No doubt! How long you been listening to esco?

Me as well 💯

Jay could never write some shit like that,Nas is the goat
Words can’t express how amazing this album is.. Another classic!
Nas man 😮 Michael and Quincy though… omg 🔥 do that one next
Right!!
This gotta be the next one they do

Hov the most overrated rapper of all time lol
Beef is a prequel to Shootouts and then I gave you power. Peep that.
🤔
Word!
You onto something...
Whoa….hold up!
My brother a lot of people never heard. I gave you power. They crazy the god MC
The concept is crazy only nas can do it thats why he is the goat. 🐐
He's a legend for a reason! Beautiful! Great reaction! TY
Y’all gotta do “Legit” off the album…. One of the best of the albums hands down!!!!
Just commented the same thing, was trippin no one really showin love to that track
It's definitely my favorite track.. Hitboy and Nas is a perfect match
Yep would be my pick
Ghetto Reporter, Til My Last Breath, 30
Man this entire album HITTIN!
Ok, I had to come back and comment. This is one of the best hip hop songs ever! #NASTYNAS
Michael & Quincy and 30 , the production is crazy and they are bangers layered with
Beautiful lyrics
Dammit Nas!! We are not deserving of your lyrical/conceptual/intellectual genius. OMG!! This dude here is different plain and simple. So hot!!
Don't say that man we need him more than ever even if we don't deserve him..
Thanks for reacting to these Nas tracks. Great shit.
Love seeing all the real Nas fans congregate in the comments on vids like this, who came to just share the same joy we all got from this track
Gotta give him his flowers while he’s still here. Waiting to see if someone will do a song about Nas like what Joyner Lucas did with “Will”
Glad you are doing a few of Nas songs
This is just pure talent and intelligence this man Nas is the GOAT point blank 30 years and still relevant
Also, this personification goes beyond beef. It's 👑z disease itself, from eating too much fat (beef)!

Hit-boy killed this beat. This shvt hard asf
Mad respect for the breakdown on this. Opened my eyes to the genius of this track. Great content guys 🤜🤛
Great writer is Nas..Nas is really creative n great Storyteller...Good reaction as usual n love this song BEEF...Brilliant...
I'm 42 and I been listening to nas since day one and honestly he is still doing it mad love
What i like most about this song apart from what nas did is how the beat fits so perfectly the topic of BEEF
NAS is undefeated. His bars have never failed
"I'm a thousand foot fence that keep you from gettin' rich, get around me" 🔥🔥🔥
Damn. This song was so good. Always gain a better appreciation for a track after hearing LIV’s lyrical analysis
Lost In Vegas killin it..once again!👌🏽
Nas is unbelievable man
I wish they did album reviews like in the past. I’d love an hr long video of KD3 in its entirety
Probably patron content maybe
Y'all compliment each other so well ♥️.. I can't believe all the love and support Nas is finally getting.... It's so weird... He's a king in his own right ..boss shit ... 💪🏾
Nas is and will always be the blueprint to greatness as an artist and also now business
After this there should be no more debate about who is the true G.O.A.T
King Nasir! i have played the song 30 about 6 times dope as hell.
Bruh this is Hip Hop Excellence!!! The cadence, the personification, the topic and timing of this song is on point as well. Dude telling a story on this album too. Pay attention people.
Y'all some OGs out in Vegas, gotta rep for the old school. Nas is true lyricism and it is needed in this world.
Nice review NAS & HB did their thing on this entire project! You guys could review the majority of this Album!!
This the type of music that go over the heads of the ones who need to hear it. He said “MY STORY IS AGE OLD” Shit is wicked🤦🏿♂️
Excellent use of personification. Nas is a great writer.
Nas is a smart lyricist...to me this is pure rap opera with insane flow.
Finally .. appreciate the effort guys .. y'all rock
The ability to react to a song in a fun and honest way, while dropping wisdom and life lessons, is why this channel is the best.
Keep 'em coming #Kenya
Nas is the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
Been Rocking With The God Since Birth. Best Rapper Alive.
Nas took his lyricism to new heights. 👏🏼👏🏼
Nas Lyricism is exactly the same as its always been ... It's always been at this dizzying height
Nas is amazing lyrically. Much like Wu Tang. He also crushes beef. His song Ether is a FIRE diss track.
He is a bit preachy sometimes, but I can look past all that. His beats are sometimes slightly unorthodox, however his lyricism is almost second to none.

One of the most powerful songs this year!! #GOAT
crazy to see y’all w 1 million bro been here since y’all were reviewing the old school logic
I feel guilty for feeling like this track is even better than 'I gave you power'. Out of this world!
Last time I was the astonished over a track was Lupe's "put you on game." Nas is what legends are made of.
Love you guys for deciphering the lyrics and putting the songs in context !
I've always wanted y'all to react to I Gave You Power but knew it wouldn't happen, so I'm glad Nas dropped this song
Hit that million congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Appreciate yall in depth reaction! ...Please yall gotta react to Nas- Michael & Quincy! I would love to hear yall thoughts keep more KD 3 reactions coming
“I’m a thousand foot fence that keeps you from gettin rich. Get around me.” 😳
Holy Shit. I am back in the 90's with this track! It's INSANE.
Great breakdown. My favorite track on the album.
NAS IS THE 🐐 period
Man.. Everytime I listen to either NAS, JID or Cole.. I just am able to actually listen to what they are saying. Instead of just.. "Yeah, nice flow". And I'm originally a Metalhead.
Great Reaction and Song. Nas deserves to be on the throne. Though Who shot ya was actually a shot by Biggie at LL Cool J...though as he says in this jam, it's stretched out, misunderstood. Great Jam and keep the KDIII Reactions coming
Been listening to the KDIII all morning! It's nice! And I haven't bought a rap album since Ridin Dirty UGK.
Nas b givin me the chills
“Legit” is also super hard. One of my favorites so far.
Love this entire album! Michael and Quincy, and Hood2Hood are instant classics
G.O.A.T.....LET'S GO !! GREAT VIDEO....Keep up the good work
Kings Disease trilogy is something else! Love it.. esp 2 n 3.
while Rappers looking for beef on earth , Nas is exploring the Galaxy/Universe
I thought "God did" was nice...then Nas drop this and am like DAMN!
Song sounds clear here ❤️👌🏼♥️🔥
You are the best in terms of breakdown...others just lip sync n say nothing
That's hard it's not only hiphop thing... We have beefs in real life and media.
This is Big Boy Rap, If you can get George or Ryan out their seat you KNOW them bars is hittin HARD
I swear this whole album is one of the best in Nas's illustrious career. It hits so hard.
WoW another dope song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Greetings from Costa Rica, huge fan, I love you videos, and I found out about more good music thaks to you guys.
Next stop, Michael and Quincy, Pleaseee!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The best reaction channel 🔥🔥💚💚😊😊
hands down been looking for the whole album review
Hit Boy has lit a fire underneath his ass. This is CLASSIC NAS that Ive been missing. And though he had albums with moments of greatness it feels like this body of work picks up where It Was Written ended.
Nas just dropped a modern day classic. It's the 2022's It Was Written with a sprinkle of The Lost Tapes. 🔥
Dope breakdown..please do Michael and Quincy next!!!🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the most important Hip-Hop tracks ever dropped
My fav song from the album
Nas the GOAT. Thanks for the great review!
This song is Grammy winner 🔥🔥🔥
I’d love to just read these lyrics. Reading lyrics hit different. If it’s raps like this, you’ll really see the genius of it. Read the lyrics of lets say Glorilla, and well…
Nas has the lyrics to EVERY track in the description. Check it out.
Very reminiscent of Lupe Fiasco's - The Game
I am the one that they march with
Through the back alleys and the black markets
The Oval offices, crack-houses, and apartments
Through the mazes of the queens
I am the blood of this city
Its gas, water, and electricity
I'm its gym, and its math, and its history
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you're missin', G
Thank you. Your commentary interprets ... translates?... important music and lyrics to me, an outsider who wants to know more about music and culture.
One of my fav tracks, let's enjoy this 🔥🔥🔥
